Yes kids, it’s another edition of Hockey Tweets of the Week! And this past week is probably the most twitter friendly of all the weeks of the season, as we have All-Star Weekend to look back on. And it was a pretty eventful weekend:
PK Jagr
Ya gotta love the Jaromir Jagr impression by PK Subban …

As for Jagr, well … he did love it!
It was funny:))) I didn't know he's going to do it. P.K.-my little brother 🙂 pic.twitter.com/XFvVjbigWh

Chewy
You surely also saw Brent Burns as Chewbacca:

Makes you think how Chewy would do in other sports:

The Main Event
Well before John Scott was All-Star Game hero, he was All-Star Skills Competition Delegator. And Chewbacca wasn’t happy:
Told Johnny anything but breakaways…. He put me in breakaways.. Heeeeeeres Johnny! #NHLAllStarWeekend pic.twitter.com/b9RZRNqMwn
— Brent Burns (@Burnzie88) January 30, 2016
But then Scott scored two goals, led the Pacific Division to an All-Star Tournament victory, and everyone was happy.
He even had a rival team rooting for him:
Sorry, @hallsy04. After that interference, we're obligated to switch our vote to #VoteMVPScott. 😉 #NHLAllStar pic.twitter.com/NXHiDTYJVa
— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) February 1, 2016
You guys should have been tweeting #VoteMVPJohnScott the whole time, really. @EdmontonOilers https://t.co/BZJ8jTlNR1
— Taylor Hall (@hallsy09) February 1, 2016
And if there’s justice in this world, Scott will be immortalized with a video game cover:

The Roberto Luongo Tweets Of The Week
Yes, TWEETS! Plural! Because he had fun at All Star Weekend:
https://twitter.com/strombone1/status/693535085329567744
“I’ve fallen. And I’m going to get up to kick your ass … Luongo!” -Jaromir Jagr … maybe
I went 9 for 9 in the shootout tonight! Maybe it really is time to consider bigger nets….. #NHLAllStar
— Strombone (@strombone1) January 31, 2016
Hopefully, he won’t fall victim to the same kind of skills slump that Home Run Derby contestants go through.
Helluva game #JohnScott ! Please don't hurt me…… #NHLAllStar
— Strombone (@strombone1) February 1, 2016
No net crashing in the All-Star Game, Roberto.
For the final we are pairing Leo Komarov with futur teammate @RealStamkos91……. I kid I kid #NHLAllStar
— Strombone (@strombone1) February 1, 2016
And for after the game, the NHL is pairing you with tampering charges.
There Were Other Games This Week
And Connor McDavid scored in one of them! Did you see it?
Is this going to be the goal of the year? #McDavid with 3 pt comeback game. Incredible. https://t.co/n7vzPP72M8

It left the Columbus Blue Jackets peering out their window hoping McDavid was actually gone …
@VanCanucks is it mcdavid again
— Columbus Blue Jackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) February 4, 2016
Some, however, are unaware of McMania …

The Leafs Get A Makeover
Well, it isn’t so much a makeover as it’s somebody looking through the old logos, picking one out of the stack and saying: “let’s go with this.”
The brand new Maple Leafs logo is here. https://t.co/KoCb0nkMMw pic.twitter.com/qBVpejEizD

Maybe the new Leafs logo should just be Auston Matthews face?
— James Mirtle (@mirtle) February 3, 2016
Why bother? The Oilers will just win the number one pick in the lottery again.

Dan Gilbert to sue for his patent on bitterness.
Grocery shopping and I think I found where the inspiration for the new Leafs logo came from. pic.twitter.com/Oyi3TUEbRk
— J.D. Albert (@HyphenNationJD) February 4, 2016
Like the Leafs would borrow anything that has maple syrup from Quebec …
@jordan_dix @FuscoNation16 @TheHockeyWriter The new Leafs logo is equivalent to the Simpsons going back to season 1 animation.
— Pete Rosecia (@djmaloneman) February 4, 2016
Borje Salming was still active when the Simpsons debuted.
And the obligatory golf reference:
@NatPostRadio this should be the new Leafs logo. pic.twitter.com/t1BzCJxbhX

Snap.
And Finally …
We go back to Strombone for the moment he found out the Florida Panthers were going to play in the Super Bowl:
More rushing yards Sunday: me or Payton? pic.twitter.com/YrkWk0tqSn
— Strombone (@strombone1) February 3, 2016
Don’t be silly. Gerard Gallant is putting Barkov in the I formation. You’re playing fullback, Stroms.
